It’s usually the left that schisms, fragments, and starts fighting with its own. The Revolutionary Socialist Workers Party focuses its spite and loathing on the Revolutionary Workers Socialist party and who could forget the Anarchists shooting it out with the Stalinists in Barcelona in 1937. But now, if we hang in there, we are likely to see the right snarling at each other’s throats. As the Republican primaries approach and the extremist of the Tea Party movement start purging heretics, the whole thing could turn really ugly and the grifters, the crooks, the megalomaniacs, and the-just-plain crazy form factions and turn their poisonous and frequently fabricated vitriol on each other rather than the Obama administration. James O'Keefe and his ludicrous crew are most probably ratting each other out right, and heaven help Glenn Beck if he picks the wrong side as the right goes for the jugular. Not even Sarah Palin – already under fire for possible money laundering via her book – seems above the coming fray as this weekend’s Tea Party Convention degenerates into bickering chaos and she remains the last speaker standing. Oh man, would I love to see Palin and Michelle Bachmann going at it. I would even spring for Pay For View.

Splitters!!!
in mud?
The financial era seems symbolized by former Ayn Rand inner-circle member Alan Greenspan apologizing to congress, saying that he thought that the banking industry could regulate itself. He's like a character in one of her novels, but one she never had the foresight to write. John Ruskin understood the bank failures better than Greenspan 150 years ago. If you allow parties A and B to gamble, which is what these banks were doing with their "bundling," etc., then the best that can happen is that what A gains B loses, and vice-versa. The worst that will happen is that C and D, who had nothing to do with the gambling will be drawn down by it, by socializing the losses. Too bad nobody in power reads old dead people like Ruskin anymore. They're too busy "self-actualizing" or somthing . . . .
